Breath of the Spirit (an evening-length work for flute and organ, with narrators, written with Poet Kenneth Gaertner) was commissioned by Marilyn Mason and premiered by her with the flutist Donald Fishel in the Paris Festival Toussant at the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris, and has been performed over twenty times in the U.S and Europe. Gregory was commissioned to compose The Churches' One Foundation for the Archdiocesan choir and orchestra for the dedication of the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart in Houston. Other recent works premiered include Concerto for Cello and Orchestra (Diane Winder and the Ypsilanti Symphony), Five Psalm Pictures, Rosary (Premiere -St. Johannes church, Amsterdam) and Fantasy Variations on a Theme of Schubert for string trio and flute, Hymn of Peace for Cello and Piano (cellist Cellist Mirel Iancvici; professor of cello at the Conseratoriaum, Utrecht) and several works for Houston virtuoso organist Jackson Osborn.
